After creating the walls verify using the property browser to see if the top and bottom of the walls are constrained.
a. Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected
b. Which option is convenient for modeling walls, By Height or By Depth?
AIM: make a wall using pick line tool in modify tab based on the floor layout
Introduction: walls are arguably one of the most important element of any building
As such the wall tool is a prominet function of autodesk revit architecture
Procedure:
step1) draw a residential layout
select floor plan from property
click on wall and select architectural wall option
then go to height and take height as 400mm
and selct wall type as generic 200mm
and draw a layout of approx 7000mmX 8000mm
and selct wall type as generic 200mm
and draw a layout of approx 9000mmX 8000mm
Step 2) material & thickness
select the wall layout
then go to property and choose edit type option from that
then TYPE PROPERTIES are open in front of us
step3) select duplicate option
and rename it as new wall
and then press on edit
and change thickness from 200 to 300mm
step 4) then go to material column
then in row 2 click on 3dots in material
for changing a material of roof
step 5) then choose material as brick soldier course
and press ok, then apply and ok
then we seen our floor is change with 30mm thick and brick soldier course
step 6) verify using the property browser to see if the top and bottom of the walls are constrained
select all walls and go to property
then choose base constraint option
after choosing base contaraint
select it as level 1
and top constraint is upto level 2
step 7)
Q,a ) Based on your observation, what is beneficial for connecting walls with associated levels rather than being Unconnected
Ans) 1) if we are wish to change the level of wall or height of building during the drawing thats time connecting walls associated level is very helpfull
2) if you associate wall with level then whenever you change the level then our wall heigh also change with level
3) and if you not associate wall with level (unconnected) then if you are changing level then the height of wall remains same or any element like floor,roof etc
Q.b) Which option is convenient for modeling walls, By Height or By Depth?
Ans)1) when we select the height option for the wall, the wall be created above the level,
2) when we select the depth option wall will be created below the level
3) so height option is convenient for modelling wall
Result: Successfully applied material to wall
the top and bottom of the wall are constrained to wall
3) Copy the model elements ( wall, floor ) modelled to Ground Floor Level and paste it aligned to First Floor Level . Use modify tab to utilize copy and paste options to align
elements to a different level
AIM: Use modify tab to utilize copy and paste options to align elements to a different level
Introduction: for making multi storey building that option is more convinent
Procedure:
step1) rename the level
rename the level as ground floor to level 1
and first floor for level 2
by clicking on level and click right tab on cursor for rename the level
step 2) go to groun floor

then choose paste clipboard option after copy clipboard
then choose aligned to level option from it
step 5) then choose aligned to level option from it
in that selct level as first floor
step 6) and press ok
then go to 3D view you see the first floor is ready
same as ground floor
Result: copy and paste ground floor to first floor with all object and families using clipboard from modified are successful
4) Use interior partition walls to create separate rooms within your residential unit. The model must include the following rooms
a. Living Room/ Drawing Room ( 15’ X 18’)
b. Dining Room (9’ X 11’)
c. Bed Room ( 9’ X 12’ and 15’ X 11’)
d. Rest Room ( 10’ X 12’ )
e. Kitchen (8’ X 10’)
The above are for examples. You can use them or use your measured entities to create your model based on your layout. You may include entry walkway, Patios or Guest
rooms based on your creativity and purpose of modeling. Convert units if you are using metric system
AIM: Use interior partition walls to create separate rooms within your residential unit.
